    Notes: Abstract Transcription of the Trichoderma longibrachiatum egl1 gene is induced in the presence of lactose and β-methylglucoside and repressed by glucose. A DNA fragment containing 722 bp upstream of the ATG codon has been sequenced. The gene has two major transcription start points (20 and 24 nucleotides upstream from the ATG codon) and several transcription termination points (located in a region around 130 nt downstream of the stop codon). Two 6-mer sequences (5′-CTGGAG-3′) separated by 16 bp are present in the egl1 gene promoter. These sequences match the Aspergillus nidulans consensus CreA binding site and might be implicated in carbon catabolite repression of egl1 transcription.

    EFFECTS OF THE HEATING MEDIUM pH ON HEAT RESISTANCE OF BACILLUS CEREUS SPORES (1998)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of food safety 18 (1998), S. 0

    Notes: The influence of the pH of the heating medium (which included several foods and buffers) on the thermal resistance (D and z-values) of spores of three Bacillus cereus strains was studied. Acidification from pH 7.0 to 4.0 produced a 5-fold decrease in D-values. Plots of log D vs pH gave straight lines, which made it possible to develop an equation to approximately predict the changes in heat sensitivity of B. cereus spores which occurred with changing pH. z-Values for two of the strains studied were not affected by acidification. On the other hand, with the strain ATCC 9818, a clear and statistically significant increase in z-value was observed as the pH decreased.

    Notes: The effects of the addition of starch, glucose, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate and disodium phosphate to the recovery medium on apparent heat resistance of Bacillus cereus spores (ATCC 4342, 7004 and 9818) were investigated. Sodium citrate, monopotassium and disodium phosphate at concentrations of 0.1% were effective inhibitory agents for heat injured B. cereus spores especially for strain 9818, although only monopotassium and disodium phosphate caused a significant reduction (p 〈 0.05) in D-values obtained for strain 9818. Sodium chloride also had a marked effect on the recovery of heat injured spores. Concentration as low as 0.5% caused a significant reduction in the recovery rates for strains 9818 and 7004. In all cases, increasing the salt levels from 0.5 to 4% resulted in a progressive decrease in spore recovery. D-values gradually decreased as the salt content increased, although the concentrations which produced statistically significant differences (p 〈 0.05) varied among strains. The addition of starch at 0.1% resulted in a significant increase in the counts for strains 9818 and 7004. In contrast, glucose (0.1%), did not significantly modify the counts obtained Neither of these compounds affected decimal reduction times. No statistical significance (p〉0.05) differences were detected among z-values for the spores of the three strains recovered in the presence of different additives assayed. z-Values ranged from 6.67 to 8.32, with a mean value of 7.56 ± 0.46C.

    Notes: The reporter gene xylE (encoding catechol 2,3-dioxygenase) has been modified for a more rational use in Streptomyces. Two reporter fragments, one containing xylE, and the other containing also the upstream gene xylT (which encodes a soluble ferredoxin), have been constructed to allow precise fusion of regulatory regions to the reporter genes. Identical fusions of these xylE and xylTE reporter fragments to the Streptomyces dagA and tipA promoters, in low and high copy number plasmids, show that the levels of xylE mRNA and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activities are significantly higher when xylT is present.

    Time-course of the phosphinothricin effect on gas exchange and nitrate reduction in Medicago sativa (1993)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Physiologia plantarum 89 (1993), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1399-3054
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The long-time effect of phosphinothricin (PPT) on gas exchange and nitrate metabolism in intact plants of lucerne (Medicago sativa L. cv. Aragón) was investigated. Photosynthetic CO2 uptake, stomatal conductance, and transpiration were measured with an Infra-Red Gas Analyzer (IRGA). Under photorespiratory conditions, CO2 uptake continuously decreased after PPT treatment. The decrease of photosynthesis led to an increase in the internal CO2 concentration, which in turn caused stomatal closure and a reduction of transpiration rate. Nitrate reduction from plants sprayed with PPT was assayed both in vitro and in vivo. In vivo nitrate reductase was measured with and without nitrate in the infiltration medium. Both types of nitrate reductase assays indicated that the enzyme was inhibited in plants treated with PPT; however, the enzyme appeared more affected when the in vivo assay was used than when the one in vitro was applied. The nitrate reduction was pronouncedly affected after 24 h of PPT treatment, when glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2.) activity and gas exchange were inhibited by more than 60%. The data suggest that the inhibition of GS leads to inhibition of photosynthesis, which, in turn, means lack of NADPH and nitrate, the substrates for nitrate reductase. The inhibition of GS also leads to a high ammonia level, which will produce a secondary inhibition of nitrate reductase activity.

    Discrimination of Aspergillus niger and other Aspergillus species belonging to section Nigri by PCR assays (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    FEMS microbiology letters 245 (2005), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1574-6968

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Aspergillus species included in section Nigri are common in plant products and processed food, such as grapes, cereals, coffee and derivatives, particularly in warm and tropical climates. Two of these species, A. carbonarius and A. niger, are known to produce ochratoxin A (OTA), a potent nephrotoxin and carcinogenic to human (group 2B). Recognition of the several species of this section is difficult and requires considerable expertise using conventional methods based on morphological features. In this work we describe rapid, sensitive and robust assays based on the PCR technique to discriminate the main species included in section Nigri: A. japonicus, A. heteromorphus, A. ellipticus and the two morphologically indistinguishable species of the A. niger aggregate: A. niger and A. tubingensis. The species-specific primers have been designed on the basis of ITS (internal transcribed spacers of rDNA units) sequence comparisons obtained from several Aspergillus strains and have been tested in a number of strains from different origins and hosts. These PCR assays, based on multi-copy sequences, are highly sensitive and specific and represent a good tool for an early detection of OTA-producing Aspergillus species in order to prevent OTA from entering the food chain.

    Trimyema compressum Lackey, 1925: Morphology, Morphogenesis and Systematic Implications (1988)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Trimyema compressum is a species included in the family Trimyemidae with the single genus Trimyema. This species has 50–60 somatic kinetics and three rows of kinetosomes surrounding the oral cavity. Two isolated groups of kinetosomes can also be observed on the right side of the oral region. The morphogenesis of bipartition is telokinetal; all the new infraciliary structures of the opisthe come from the longitudinal and postero-anterior proliferation of the last kinetosome of all the somatic kinetics. In the proter there is a reorganization of the oral infraciliature.As a result of our observations, we suggest that the systematic position of the genus Trimyema be changed from the subclass Vestibulifera to the subclass Gymnostomata. We also consider that this genus must be included in the suborder Trimyemina Jankowski, 1980.

    Structural Bases of the Cytolytic Mechanisms of Entamoeba histolytica (1985)

    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The cellular bases of the powerful cytolytic activity of the human protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica were explored by studying the effect of the virulent strain HM1:IMSS on epithelial monolayers of MDCK cells using a combination of time-lapse microcinematography and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Early alterations of the epithelial cell membranes were detected by measuring changes in the transepithelial electrical resistance of MOCK monolayers mounted in Ussing chambers. The aggressive mechanism of E. histolytica trophozoites was found to be a complex, multifactorial phenomenon that included hit-and-run damage to the plasma membrane of effector cells mediated through contact, phagocytosis of lysed or apparently intact, but detached, MDCK cells, and inlracellular degradation of ingested cells. Following contact with amebas, the epithelial monolayers showed a pronounced lowering of transepithelial resistance, opening of tight junctions, distortion of microvilli, surface blebbing, and the presence of minute focal discontinuities in the plasma membrane. There was no evidence of amebic exocytosis, membrane fusion, or junction formation between the parasite and host plasma membranes. Although modifications in the epithelial cell membranes usually preceded lysis, the cytolytic activity of the parasite did not exclusively involve damage to the plasma membrane of the cultured host cells but also was mediated by avid phagocytosis, the displacement and separation of neighboring cells by means of pseudopodial activity, and the “pinching-off” of the peripheral cytoplasm of epithelial cells.

    Notes: In Pleurotricha lanceolata, the ventral somatic infraciliature presents 13 frontoventral cirri, 5 transverse cirri, one row with 18–19 left marginal cirri and two rows of right marginal cirri of different length. On the dorsal side there are six longitudinal rows of dorsal bristles, four of them bipolar and the other two less than half body length. The oral infraciliature includes the adoral zone of membranelles, with 45–55 membranelles of three or four rows of kinetosomes each, and two undulating membranes (paroral and endoral membranes), each with two rows of kinetosomes. Some structures of the oral and somatic fibrillar systems have also been examined and are similar to those described in other species of hypotrichous ciliates.
